Ferentz's Emphasis on the ISU Game

Last year Iowa had a good OL, great QB, great RB, elite TEs and two solid/proven WR's and you still weren't good offensively even going by cherry picked stats? Yikes Brian

That’s what happens when you play in a Big Boy conference like the Big Ten. If Iowa was fortunate enough to play in the Big XII, Stanley probably would have thrown for 4,000 yards.
 
So let me get this straight. Last year Iowa had a good OL, great QB, great RB, elite TEs and two solid/proven WR's and they were still one of the worst offenses in the entire country? Yikes Brian

Still put up 44 on iSu and 54 on OSU.

Didn't you use a stat that accounted for the opponents you played and it still wasn't good?

With Iowa’s frequent top 15-20 defenses, an offense ranked 42nd is more than enough. Besides, you’ve made it clear that all you care about is total yards. Iowa’s total yards would have been crazy in the no-defense Big XII.

How can you possibly be 42nd with a good OL, great QB, great RB, elite TEs and three solid/proven WR's?

First year QB, first year OC, freshmen at OT, freshmen at WR. Not to mention Iowa’s conservative offensive philosophy. Not that hard to figure out.

True, so fans from those schools can trash our offense all they want. iSu fans doing the same just come off as being jelly.
There is literally one "iSu fan" trashing "your" offense.

It is worth noting that ISU didn't exactly suck on offense in that game against a top 30 defense.

ISU was 86th in total offense.
 
Whatever he's doing is working. The guy just beat two top 5 teams and a top 25 team to win a bowl game

If that keeps you happy then awesome. Good to be realistic and not someone that thinks their team should win a national title every year.

No iSu didn’t suck against the Iowa defense last year. It was a great game but there is at least one iSu fan who will never admit Iowa was better.

So your offense wasn't good last year because the lack of depth on the OL, the WR's and mistakes made by Brian and Fat Stanley. That at least makes sense
